TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Cause	Solution
The image doesn’t fill the entire field of view (vignetting).	The eyecup setting is not correctly adjusted for viewing with or without glasses.	If you wear glasses, twist in the eyecup as far as it will go. If you do not wear glasses, unscrew the eyecup fully (see section 2.4 Adjusting the twist-in eyecup).
Circle does not turn bold after pressing the release button (halfway).	Camera autofocus is not responding.	Remove your finger from the release button and start the process again. If the circle has still not turned “bold,” choose a different mode on the mode selection wheel and then switch back again.
Display is too light or too dark.	Display brightness is incorrectly set.	Open the Display item in the settings of the SWAROVSKI OPTIK Outdoor app and select your preferred level of brightness for the display from five settings (dark to light).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

LENS-CLEANING CLOTH
With the included microfiber lens-cleaning cloth you can clean even the most sensitive glass surfaces. It is ideal for objective lenses, eyepieces, and eyeglasses. Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage the lens surface. If the cloth is dirty, you can wash it in lukewarm soapy water and let it air dry. Please use it only for cleaning glass surfaces.

CLEANING
Cleaning the optics. To ensure the long-lasting optical brilliance of your binoculars, you should keep the glass surfaces free from dirt, oil, and grease. First brush off any larger particles of dirt using an optical lens brush. Then breathe gently on the lens and polish it with the cleaning cloth to remove any remaining dirt. If it is very dirty (e.g. with sand), the twist-in eyecups can be completely unscrewed, making it very easy to clean.

Cleaning the protective housing. Use the soap & brush kit (supplied). Close the covers on the eyepiece and objective lenses. Remove the battery and close the battery compartment before cleaning. Moisten the brush and apply the soap using circular movements to gently clean the housing. Then rinse the device with clean water and dry it with care. If the optics become wet, dab them dry with a clean cloth to prevent scratching. Rinse the brush thoroughly and leave the soap & brush kit to dry.

Note: If you clean your binoculars outdoors, please ensure the soapy water does not contaminate the natural water cycle.

STORAGE
 Keep your product in its bag in a well-ventilated place. If the product is wet, it must be dried first. In tropical areas or areas with high humidity, it is best to store it in an airtight container with a moisture-absorbing agent (e.g. silica gel).

In this case, contact our customer service immediately as there is a risk of explosion and/or accident. Clear warnings of a defective battery include, for example, deformations (bulges), melting of areas on the plastic casing (signs of singeing), discoloration, odor, high heat generation.
• Do not use the battery incorrectly as this can lead to damage to the battery and an associated risk of fire and explosions.
  • Do not attempt to open the battery or take it apart.
  • Do not short-circuit the battery. Never store the battery in a hazardous location in a cardboard box or a drawer where the battery contacts could short-circuit each other or where they could be short-circuited by other conductive materials.
  • Avoid mechanical stresses (pressure, deformations, impacts).
  • Keep the battery dry and clean. If the battery becomes dirty, dry and clean the contacts using a clean, dry cloth.
  • Do not use any electrically conductive materials for cleaning.
• If the battery leaks, make sure that the fluid does not come into contact with your skin or eyes, and do not inhale the fumes emitted. If this is the case, seek medical assistance.
• Do not expose products with batteries to excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight, fire, or proximity to heat sources such as radiators or appliances that produce heat).

INFORMATION ON CHARGING THE LI-ION BATTERY

• Only charge the battery using the RBC battery charger (supplied with the AX VISIO) and a suitable power supply that complies with local regulations or has FCC/CE/IC approval.
• Using damaged cables or chargers or charging in humid environments may cause electric shocks, fire, injury, or damage to the equipment or other property.
• The optimum charging temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F) ambient temperature. The permitted charging temperature is between 0°C and 37°C (32°F and 99°F). Do not go below or exceed this temperature range during charging.
• Do not leave the battery unattended while it is charging.
• Do not leave the battery in the charger for longer than necessary.
• Make sure that the battery is not covered during charging.
• Pay particular attention to any unusual increase in temperature. The battery should not be hot to the touch during charging.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND STORAGE 

• The battery life depends on the ambient temperature.
• Under no circumstances should batteries be stored for longer periods (days) in a discharged state as this can lead
  to irreparable damage. Charge the battery to 60 – 80% before storage. If the battery is stored at room temperature, it must be recharged after 6 months.
• A battery has a limited life, and its performance decreases with duration of use. We advise a usage period of no longer than 5 years.
